The committee took cognizance of the delay in the construction of the polytechnic and asked the officials concerned to explain the reasons for the delay.
Speaking to media persons, Syiem said the committee had found out the reason behind the delay in the construction work and said it was because of the non-release of funds by the Ministry of Human Resource Development.
